ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

1. Our Commitment to Accessibility

​

BLR Clips is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all users, including people with disabilities. We aim to ensure that everyone can access our football challenges, creator tools, and platform features regardless of ability, device, or assistive technology.

We are continually improving the user experience and applying relevant accessibility standards to achieve this goal.

​​​

​

2. Standards and Guidelines

​

BLR Clips strives to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define three levels of accessibility:

• Level A – Minimum accessibility

• Level AA – Industry‑standard accessibility

• Level AAA – Highest level of accessibility

Our target is WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across core areas of the platform.

​​

​

3. Accessibility Status: Partial Compliance

 

BLR Clips is currently partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

This means:

• Many parts of the website meet accessibility standards

• Some areas do not yet fully conform

 

Reason for Partial Compliance:

 

BLR Clips displays and embeds YouTube videos as part of challenge submissions and creator content. While YouTube provides accessibility features such as captions and keyboard controls, we cannot guarantee that all user‑generated videos meet WCAG requirements, including:

• Accurate captions

• Audio descriptions

• Sufficient visual contrast

• Avoidance of flashing content

Because these elements depend on the original uploader or YouTube’s automated systems, full compliance cannot be guaranteed for embedded media.

We are actively exploring ways to improve this, including optional caption uploads and creator guidance.

​​

​

4. Measures We Take to Support Accessibility

​

To ensure accessibility across the BLR Clips platform, we implement:

​

4.1 Technical Measures

• Semantic HTML structure

• Keyboard‑navigable components

• ARIA labels and roles where appropriate

• Responsive design for all screen sizes

• Alt text for images and icons

• Colour contrast checks for UI elements

​​

4.2 Organisational Measures

• Internal accessibility reviews during development

• Continuous monitoring and iterative improvements

• Staff awareness of accessibility best practices

​​

4.3 Platform‑Level Features

• Clear, consistent navigation

• Descriptive button labels

• Error messages that are easy to understand

• Support for screen readers and assistive technologies

​​​

​

5. Known Limitations

​

We are aware of the following limitations and are working to address them:

• Some user‑generated content may not include captions or descriptions

• Some interactive elements may require refinement for full keyboard accessibility

• Third‑party integrations (e.g., YouTube, analytics tools) may not fully conform to WCAG standards

If you encounter an issue, we encourage you to let us know.
